Paris HiltonParis Hilton has been asked to perform at the upcoming V music festival in Chelmsford and Staffordshire - but not for the general public.

Paris, who releases her self-titled debut album later this month, has been reportedly asked to perform backstage for the festival’s VIP guests. Her audience will include other performers and celebrity guests such as Naomi Campbell and Desperate Housewives Jesse Metcalfe.

A source revealed: “We always have a high number of celebrities chilling out there and we make sure we have a special performance for them.”

“We think Paris would go down a storm, which is why we have asked her.”

Paris has previously said that she would love to perform at a music festival: “I really want to do a festival so I can prove I have talent.”
